[13:24:18] <kolie> janrinok, o/
[13:27:10] <janrinok> \o
[13:28:20] <janrinok> kolie, sup?
[13:31:23] <kolie> nm
[13:31:32] <janrinok> ok
[13:31:34] <kolie> is the volcano sub timely and breaking and suitable?
[13:32:06] <janrinok> It is not breaking but it is certainly timely - the eruption happened at the end of yesterday my time.
[13:32:15] <kolie> yea I was hearing about it.
[13:33:17] <janrinok> So it is certainly current, and worth a punt. Cannot say how much interest there will be - we have a few who are keen on volcanoes.
[13:34:05] <kolie> should I put c0lo submitted the following, as it came in via upstart
[13:34:39] <janrinok> Yes, if you can recognise the submitter (as we can in this case) then I normally give him the credit.
[13:34:55] <janrinok> There is no hard or fast rule about that.
[13:40:03] <kolie> ok. i uhh put it in the queue.
[13:43:54] <janrinok> I moved the link outside the blockquotes. It isn't usually blockquoted and the source probably didn't write it themselves.
[13:44:19] <janrinok> Other than that it is released
[13:44:51] <janrinok> You're getting into the swing of this now, are you enjoying it or is that too strong a term?
[13:45:09] <janrinok> afk 5
[13:47:51] <kolie> its working out
[13:48:39] <kolie> 13% of the way to climbing up the 50% mark on the authors page.
[13:58:24] <janrinok> I don't think any of us will ever catch up with MartyB - I am still several years away from that record!
[13:59:24] <janrinok> we usually acknowledge 100, 200 300, 400, 500, 1000 stories but it doesn't involve anything of any value!
[13:59:58] <kolie> yea that's a lifetime achievement for sure.
[14:00:18] <kolie> hubie's in the groove and "only" has almost 3000
[14:03:08] <kolie> How much editing would you say you would do on the owl submission on the media matters issue
[14:10:43] <janrinok> ...lokking
[14:10:51] <janrinok> looking*...
[14:13:53] <janrinok> I'm not even sure that I would pick it up. There isn't a very good link to our topics and it looks more like political stirring to me. I would be tempted to bounce it back suggesting that he puts it into his journal, or rewrites it to be more relevant than it currently is to our community.
[14:14:42] <kolie> yea seems to be uhh, spicy topic.
[14:14:48] <janrinok> By all means take somebody else's opinion on this, but I wouldn't personally run with it.
[14:15:05] <kolie> its more poking the choir then it is factual news.
[14:15:07] <janrinok> If you do decide to use it put it out under the 'Random' topic
[14:16:46] <janrinok> The problem is if you accept one story like this then where do you draw the line in the future? It might be OK to release a similar story at the weekend just to give everyone a chance to run riot with it, but I wouldn't expect it during the week.
[14:17:40] <janrinok> At the end of the say it would be hubie's call - he is in the EiC seat.
[14:18:58] <janrinok> It is perhaps suitable for late Saturday night (USA time) after those who are online have had a few drinks.....
[14:25:54] <kolie> I don't like the tone of the whole thing. And I'm not exactly sympatetic to elon, but I don't hate the guy either.
[14:26:08] <kolie> it just rubs me the wrong way. its a low blow.
[14:26:34] <kolie> Definitely drunken rant material for friday haha i like it.
